The invention belongs to a gas protective welding flux cored wire for welding heat resistant steel. The gas protective welding flux cored wire comprises low-carbon steel metal skin and a flux core, wherein the low-carbon steel metal skin comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.01 to 0.1 percent of C, 0.1 to 0.4 percent of Mn, 0.01 to 0.03 percent of Si, 0.005 to 0.015 percent of S, 0.005 to 0.015 percent of P and the balance of iron; the flux core accounts for 14 to 25 percent of the total weight of the welding wire and comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 1.2 to 3.0 percent of medium-carbon ferromanganese, 0.20 to 2.0 percent of ferrosilicon powder, 0.05 to 0.5 percent of magnesium powder, 1.5 to 2.0 percent of metal chromium powder, 0.2 to 2.0 percent of ferromolybdenum powder, 0.05 to 0.2 percent of electrically fused magnesia, 0.01 to 0.3 percent of fluoride and 7 to 15 percent of iron powder; and the components are mixed uniformly, the mixture is coiled on a thin steel strip made of low-carbon steel to form strips, and the strips are drawn to form wires. The gas protective welding flux cored wire has the characteristics of no molten slag on deposited metal after welding, capability of performing continuous multi-layer welding without slag removal, high welding process property, stable electric arcs, small splatter, attractive appearance of weld joints and the like, the welding efficiency is improved by 20 to 40 percent, and vertical downward welding can be realized by short circuiting transfer.
